Yeah, I'd say let's just stop supporting the single-comment view.
Re progressive loading: sounds like the API should be something like: load this bug, making the requested comment visible with surrounding context. (Then standard bug page load calls that with comment-1 as the argument.) When the comment is off in the middle somewhere, then some sort of vertical visual ellipsis elides the comments outside the context range until they're loaded.
